Husband trying to be supportive

2 Replies

Hello, my name is Woody. I am disabled with a neuro condition, but try to be as supportive as possible to my wife Suzanne who has OC (BRCA2).

Suzanne was diagnosed stage 3 in March 2013 and has had two recurrences, so three goes at the dreaded taxol/carboplatin cocktail. But hey it has worked! Last time round they had to go light on the carboplatin as Suzanne developed an allergic reaction.

Suzanne is a patient of the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle. She has been on olaparib since October 2017 and so far, so good.
